TheWorldNewsMedia.org Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Has anyone else noticed that IPS improves stuff according to what Google wants to see (code-wise)..... IPS makes the changes... wait a few months..... Google decides it doesn't like something else ... maybe because IPS sites start showing up in search results? Then Google sends a "warning" about some obscure IPS feature or lack thereof.... Google rankings suffer.... Rinse... Lather... Repeat.... Or is it just me?

jesuralem Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Google basically dictates the whole internet standard with threats that your ranking will drop off you don't comply. So everybody complies, ips as well as everybody else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Matt Posted September 24, 2019 Management Share Posted September 24, 2019 Yes, Google waits until Invision Community installations get indexed and then immediately changes its algorithm just to spite us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer M Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 That's only because google can't handle us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast Lane! Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Wow. lol. I opened this topic expecting something else. Worth a chuckle and to see that the IPB staff also has a sense of humor :-p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyv Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Some years ago, before it went to cloud, I htaccess banned google IPs. I only allowed them again because a few members complained that their stuff wasn't showing up in search results. I checked for myself, and it was true. I myself would have left it banned, but I reinstated google. Did it for my members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
